🎃👻 HAVE A SAFE & HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🕸️🦇
Halloween is full of spooky fun, but safety should never be scary! Whether you're trick-or-treating with the kids, handing out candy, or heading out for the evening, keep these 7 safety tips in mind:

🔦 Be Seen: Wear bright colours or reflective tape, and carry a flashlight or glow stick to help drivers see you.
🚸 Use Crosswalks: Cross at intersections, look both ways, and make eye contact with drivers before crossing.
👨‍👩‍👧 Stay Together: Children should trick-or-treat with a trusted adult or in a group. Plan your route and set a check-in time.
🎭 Choose Safe Costumes: Make sure costumes fit properly, avoid tripping hazards, and use face paint instead of masks that block vision.
🍬 Check Treats: Have an adult inspect candy before eating. Avoid unwrapped treats or anything that appears tampered with.
🏠 Be Careful at Homes: Stick to well-lit houses, use sidewalks where available, and never enter a stranger’s home or vehicle.
🚗 Drive With Extra Caution: Slow down in residential areas, watch for children near parked cars, and put your phone away while driving.

Help keep Chatham-Kent safe this Halloween and look out for one another.

🍂🏡 FALL IS A GREAT TIME FOR A HOME SAFETY CHECK!

As the days get shorter and cooler weather arrives, take a few minutes to look around your home, property and vehicle for simple ways to improve security.

🔒 Check that doors and windows lock properly
💡 Make sure exterior lighting is working
🌳 Trim landscaping that could block views or create hiding places
🔨 Secure tools, ladders, bikes and outdoor equipment
🚪 Check garages, sheds, gates and fences
🚨 Test security systems, smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors
📬 If you're travelling, make your home look occupied

PLUS: don't forget your vehicle! 🚗 Lock your doors, close your windows and keep valuables out of sight. Even loose change, gift cards or bags can attract unwanted attention.

Crime prevention often starts with the small things we do every day. A few minutes of preparation can help reduce opportunities for theft and contribute to a safer community.
